Armik is an Iranian-Armenian American New Flamenco guitarist, producer and composer. His music blends Spanish guitar scales with flamenco improvisation, Latin jazz rhythms, and classical elements. Several of Armik's albums have reached Billboard's Top New Age Albums chart. Born in Iran of Armenian descent, Armik showed an early talent for music. At the age of seven, he pawned his watch to buy a classical guitar, which he hid and practiced on in the basement. By nine, Armik had completed formal music lessons as well as a rigid instructional regimen. At the age of 12, he was a professional recording artist. In 1981, Armik moved to Los Angeles, where he performed with various artists before launching his solo career in 1994 with the album Rain Dancer. His second album, Gypsy Flame, helped establish him in the emerging New Flamenco genre. In 2002, Armik founded his own record label, Bolero Records. His latest album, Gitano Amor, is set for release in January 2025.
